Hanhou

King Zuo Xian was slashed on his left arm and accidentally fell off his horse.Fortunately, the imperial guards and personal guards of the royal court fought desperately to get close, blocking the blades of Zhao Jia and Han Qi, and saved Yu Shan's life in a dangerous situation.

The loss of the main general in the battle is definitely not a small blow to morale.

In the fierce battle of tens of thousands of people, it is impossible for the news of Yu Dan's rescue to spread immediately.Hu Qi in the distance only saw Yu Dan being cut off from his horse by Zhao Jia, and the royal guards rushed forward, but he never saw Yu Dan appearing again, his morale dropped uncontrollably, and his attack was stagnant.

While you are sick it kills you.

Zhao Jia seized the right time, summoned his own guards, and shot the guards of the royal court with a hand crossbow. Then he grabbed a spear, picked it up from the fallen helmet, and held it high in the air.

"King Zuo Tuqi is dead!"

"Yu Dan is dead!"

"The chief is here!"

Zhao Jia's shouting continued to spread, and more and more Han riders shouted "The chief is dead", and fiercely killed the opposite Hu rider.

On the other hand, the Xiongnu, because Yu Dan was suppressed by crossbow arrows and his mount was hacked to death, he could only be surrounded by Wei Qing and others, and he was unable to kill for a long time, let alone inform his subordinates that he was not killed in battle.

Morale ebbed and flowed, Huns casualties continued to increase, and other followers who gritted their teeth and fought began to waver, and cracks appeared in the belief in a deadly battle.

The warnings and threats of the Bank of China are still in my ears, but the life and death of King Zuoxian is unknown, and the army has no leader, and is about to be divided and surrounded by the Han army.If you continue to fight, not only will your chances of winning be slim, but you may all die in the cloud.

To run or not to run?

Running away will definitely anger the headquarters, and even send troops to attack, but there is a chance of survival anyway.If you don't run away and insist on fighting with the Han army, judging from the combat effectiveness and morale of both sides, you must be dead!

The law does not blame the public, and the other departments play with great proficiency.

They might not have dared to do it in the Maodun and Laoshang eras.Today's Huns are no longer what they used to be, so they can take a gamble.

The leaders of the Qiang and Di tribes are the closest, and they once formed an alliance with each other. At this moment, they gestured to each other and made up their minds: run, you must run!

Yu Shan didn't show up for a long time, he was probably killed in battle, and he must have been seriously injured if he didn't die.Needless to say, it is clear what will happen to a serious injury on a battlefield with tens of thousands of people.

Following the Qiang and Di tribes, Xianbei and Ding Ling also had the idea of ​​withdrawing from the battlefield, kept getting closer in the fight, and were ready to join forces and run northward at any time.

On the contrary, Yuezhi followed the cavalry of the headquarters and fought with the Han army wholeheartedly, showing no sign of retreating.

The reason is that these Yuezhi people are far away from the tribe and do not have their own pastures, so they can only survive by relying on the Huns.If the Huns cavalry do not retreat, they must not retreat.

As the casualties continued to increase, the Qiang and Di people were determined to run, and Xianbei and Ding Ling followed closely.They were supported by tribes and clansmen behind them. At worst, they would move all their troops. When they were forced to rush, they directly rebelled with their knives.

Threatened by the Bank of China before, and Zuo Xianwang pressing on top of their heads, all the ministries made up their minds to fight to the death, and vowed not to give up until they entered Yunzhong County.However, the battle situation is changing rapidly, Yu Dan's life and death are unpredictable, the helmet was taken away by the Han general, and everyone's heart to die was instantly discounted.

Before long, deserters began to appear on the battlefield.

The leaders of the other tribes in the periphery were the first to send out the signal to find the weak point of the Han army, gather all their forces, fight out regardless of the cost, and fled northward on horseback.

Before looting Hushi, they did not lose money, and returning now, as long as they avoid the royal court's accountability, it is no longer a disadvantage.If you continue to stay and be completely surrounded by the Han army, the loss outweighs the gain.

If there is one, there are two, and if there are ten, there are hundreds.

Deserters from other tribes kept appearing, and the morale of the Xiongnu army fell to the bottom.Except for the heavily surrounded cavalry of the headquarters and the Yuezhi people who were fighting with all their strength, the followers of other departments were all fighting outwards. As long as they found a gap, the first choice must be to leave the battlefield and flee to the north.

Discovering Hu Qi's situation, Zhao Jia made a decisive decision and ordered Han Qi to let go of the gap, allowing the other troops to flee north.Gather more forces to surround the headquarters of the Huns, and make sure not to let anyone go.

As the order was passed on, more and more Hu cavalry from other tribes fled the battlefield, leaving only the headquarters and the Yuezhi cavalry struggling to support and continue to fight with the Han army.

Holding a spear in his hand, Zhao Jia rode his horse towards the guards of the royal court, instead of stabbing him, he tilted the spear body and used the momentum to sweep across.Accompanied by a crisp sound, the spear body snapped off on the spot, and all the royal guards blocking the way were sent flying out.

Throwing away half of the spear shaft, Zhao Jia drew out the long knife.

The sharp blade was the guide, and the Han cavalry kept gathering behind him, forming a black sharp blade, tearing through the Huns' defense time and time again.

The blood rain filled the air, and the black armor of Han Qi was dyed bright red.Bloodshots slid down the blade and the edge of the armor, and the horse kept snorting and exhaling white air.

The point of Han Qi's blade is death, and the blood of the Huns converges into streams, at the end of which, the gate of hell is slowly opening.

The last Qiang escaped, the horns of the Han army sounded, and the encirclement of the cavalry in the headquarters was completely closed.Yu Dan and the Hun cavalry trapped in it were isolated and helpless, and there was no possibility of escape.

Facing the imminent death, Yuezhi's feverish brain began to wake up, and the cold blade was handed in front of him. The moment he fell off the horse,

They finally discovered that apart from themselves, there was no other subordinate in sight.

The encirclement is constantly tightening, and Han Qi is like harvesting corn and wheat, starting from the periphery and constantly cutting inward.

The Yuezhi cavalry fell in batches, unable to contend with the Han army anymore, and soon all died in battle.

There were more than [-] Xiongnu cavalry left. Under the command of Yu Shan and several thousand commanders, they completely gave up defense and charged the Han army time and time again, trying to fight a bloody path.

Up to now, Yu Dan has been unable to complete the strategic plan formulated by the Bank of China. The only thing he can do is to fight out, save his life, and send a message to the military minister Shan Yu. The Han people may have known the movement of the army, and the city may be in trouble. .

Unfortunately, his plan was doomed to fail.

The battle drum was sounded at the top of the city, and the captain of Yunzhong County mobilized troops and horses to rush out of the fortress, and cooperated with Zhao Jia, vowing to keep all six thousand Xiongnu behind.

The barbarians who had moved into the fortress before had also mounted their horses one after another. No matter men, women, old or young, as long as they could pick up a dagger, draw a bow and arrow, they rushed out one after another. Led by the Sima of the Han army and the leaders of various ministries, they rushed all the way to the grassland, chasing and killing them. Hu Qi who escaped before.

They want to recapture the looted food, livestock and money, and they want to capture the head and gain military exploits!

Yu Shan was trapped in a heavy siege, watching the Hun warriors die one by one, while the other tribes who could only kneel at their feet in the past were showing off their power and following the Han people to kill the grassland.

"kill!"

Driven by anger, Yu Shan jumped on his horse, ignoring the wounds on his body, and rushed towards the Han army waving his bones.

In anger, Yu Dan showed amazing fighting power and knocked down several Han cavalry in succession, he was unstoppable and invincible.Encouraged by him, the morale of the Huns rose briefly, and after following Yu Shan, they charged the Han cavalry again.

Seeing everything in his eyes, Zhao Jia curled his fingers around his lips and whistled loudly.

The whistle echoed in the battlefield, and the Han cavalry who were fighting fiercely with the Huns suddenly spread out in all directions, raising their left arms while galloping.Recalling the wound on his chest, Yu Dan's face changed suddenly, and just as he was about to speak to remind him, it was already too late.

The crossbow bolts with a cold light flew from all directions, some of them were poisoned, and before seeing the blood sealing their throats, they could make the person hit by the arrows feel unbearable pain, and paralyzed from the wound.

Han cavalry shoot empty-handed crossbows, and the Xiongnu cavalry has fewer than a thousand cavalry.Because Yu Shansheng's morale dropped instantly, many people felt desperate and began to doubt whether it was right or wrong to go south this time.

It's not here to thresh grain, and it's not here to harvest wealth and spoils, it's clearly here to die!

In the era of cold weapons, no matter how powerful a fighter is, once they lose their will to fight and their belief in victory, all that awaits them is capture and death.

Like Wei Yue, Zhao Jia never liked keeping prisoners.

For the Huns who dared to violate the border, regardless of whether they lost their fighting spirit or not, it would be most appropriate to hack them all to death.

"kill!"

Zhao Jia pointed forward with the blade, and the Han riders descended like a tiger, and charged at the Xiongnu again.

The Xiongnu cavalry fought hard, but failed to boost their confidence and morale, and fell on the battlefield one after another.In the end, there were only a few hundred royal court guards left, using themselves as shields to firmly protect Yu Shan.

These imperial guards are astonishingly powerful, comparable to those riding in the cloud, they are almost natural killing machines.

Han Qi charged several times but failed to win, and both Wei Qing and Zhao Puonu were injured by the opponent.Zhao Jia simply called in archers, and after three rounds of arrow rain, a gap appeared in the unbreakable human wall.

A Hun chief supported his body with the blade of a sword, and said with difficulty: "Despicable!"

"The bandits who attacked the Han land and looted the people of the Han family, how could they have the face to say these two words?"

Zhao Jia sneered and ordered the soldiers to continue shooting arrows.

Now that you are on the battlefield, your mission is to kill the enemy and kill more enemies!

The hatred and curses of the enemy are the stability and prosperity of the people of the Han family.The Xiongnu hated him for wanting to die, but he was not afraid at all, but willingly enjoyed it.

Arrows rained wave after wave, and in the end more than a dozen royal guards fell, and only one person was left standing.

Zhao Jia ordered to stop shooting arrows, and under Yu Shan's vicious gaze, he ordered someone to fetch a noose and do it himself, tied Yu Shan firmly, and dragged him to the ground.

"Kill me! You killed me!"

Yu Dan's eyes were red, and he struggled desperately, not hesitating to curse at him.

Zhao Jia was unmoved, looked down at Yu Shan who was in a state of distress, and said to Wei Qing, "Lock him up and watch him, don't let him die. When the war is over, send him to Chang'an as a prisoner, congratulations to the Son of Heaven."

"promise!"

Yu Shan became a prisoner, and all the Xiongnu and Yuezhi cavalry under his command were killed.The fleeing followers of other tribes were chased and killed by the Han army and the surrendered tribes. Instead of taking away the plundered food and livestock, they threw away their helmets and armors along the way. In the end, less than 3000 people returned to the tribe.

Yi Zhixie, who pretended to attack Yanmen County, also didn't take advantage of it.

Zhidu did not play with fire this time, but cooperated with Li Guang to mobilize most of the troops in Yanmen and Shangjun, spread his pockets on the way the Huns were advancing, and set up an ambush behind Yizhixie.

Li Danghu, Cao Shi, and Han Yan's troops acted as support. When Yi Zhixie was fighting Li Guang, they fought from three sides at the same time, and Yi Zhixie was caught off guard.

Fortunately than Yu Dan, Yi Zhixie was not caught no matter how many soldiers he lost.

However, when he rushed out of the encirclement, he found that there were only a hundred imperial court guards and more than a thousand cavalry from the headquarters, and the rest were surrounded by the Han army, and it was impossible to escape.

Both feints failed, and the army that attacked Shanggu County and Shuofang County was also bitten.Contrary to the expectations of the Bank of China, King Youxian and King Youguli failed to win a battle, but were restrained by the Han army with weak forces, and they were in a dilemma for a while.

At the same time, the Han cavalry led by Wei Yue had gone deep into the grassland, sending out scouts along the way, but they were never discovered.When Zhao Jia captured Yu Dan and Yi Zhixie was forced to retreat to the grassland, the 3000 cavalry was less than twenty miles away from Longcheng.
